I don't have a blog (medium or anything) so unfortunately I don't have a use for this, but I LOVED the gif. It wasn't an attempt to show "how easy it is to do with one command" but rather a real flow of how it all goes, I appreciate it, well done!

The one of many problems with gifs is that you can't pause or rewind them.

mpv has builtin support for gifs via ffmpeg.

Honestly I really appreciate tools like this exist but I'll probably keep using Medium out of laziness. I don't want to have to worry about maintaining my own blog and I'm cheap so I don't really want to pay for hosted Ghost/Wordpress since I'm not trying to make money off of my infrequent dumb blog posts. The cheapest Ghost plan is $29/mo :(

This tool migrates to netlify, not Ghost/Wordpress. Netlify is free for 100GB of bandwidth.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That problem could easily be solved by browsers though? Treat an animated gif like an mp4

Or just skip the GIF and create an MP4 file? No need to try and shoehorn GIF into what MP4 can do perfectly well.

Yes... except that you can't embed a video in github README
